Editorial review, not paid promotion
These broker guides are independent editorial. Nepse Signal has no commission arrangement with any NEPSE broker. All brokerage fees in Nepal are set by NRB and are identical across TMS members — pick a broker for service quality and convenience, not for price.
About Sani Securities
Sani Securities Co. Ltd. (TMS member #42) operates from Jamal, Kathmandu — a few minutes from New Road, the historical heart of NEPSE retail trading. The firm has been on the exchange for years and has a deep walk-in client base from the broader Kathmandu metropolitan area, including a large book of multi-generational family accounts.
By turnover, Sani has consistently ranked #2 to #4 on the daily leaderboard through 2025 — second only to Naasa on most days. The book skews more toward longer-holding retail rather than the day-trader profile some smaller brokers attract, which shows up in floorsheet patterns: smaller average trade quantity, slightly fewer same-day reversals.
Strengths
- Highly responsive client-service desk — Jamal location means in-person resolution is a short bike ride for most Kathmandu valley clients.
- Long operating history reduces the operational risk that hits newer brokers (e.g. mid-day TMS outages have been rare).
- Steady top-5 turnover ranking means the broker's quote does meaningful price discovery on most actively-traded NEPSE names.
- Family-account onboarding (multiple BOIDs under one client relationship) is handled smoothly compared with newer entrants.
What to watch out for
- The Jamal office is in a dense commercial area — book-closure-day queues can be slow. Online TMS is the better path for dividend / right-share rush windows.
- Brokerage commission is the NRB-fixed schedule (0.24%–0.36%) — same as every NEPSE broker; the differentiator is service responsiveness, not pricing.
- Public-facing communications (newsletters, research notes) are lighter than at some banking-affiliated brokers; clients here come for execution, not for proprietary research.
How to open an account
- Open a Demat account at any commercial bank or DP (Depository Participant). This gives you a 16-digit BOID — required for every NEPSE transaction.
- Visit the broker's office (or download their KYC form from the TMS link below) with your citizenship certificate, PAN card, recent passport photo, and the bank-issued cheque or Demat statement that shows your BOID.
- Sign the broker's client agreement and the standing instruction that authorises NEPSE settlement.
- Once the broker activates your trading account (usually 1–3 business days), log in to their TMS portal with the credentials they email you and place your first order.
Account opening is free; brokerage is what they earn from
No NEPSE broker charges an account-opening fee — they earn on the per-trade commission (slid by NRB rules between 0.24% and 0.36% depending on trade size). If a 'service charge' is quoted up front, ask for the SEBON-approved fee schedule before signing.
